another language-wikipedia... Is one way more recommended than the other?
Images should not be shared among Wikipedias. it is our goal to have each Wikipedia be complete and self-contained, except for links to the Internet at large. Disk space is cheap--if the same image appears in 10 wikis, then it should be uploaded 10 times and linked locally in each. That way, when we make a backup of each wiki, each backup contains the whole content.
Perhaps Would it be thinkable then, that when we upload an image, on whatever wikipedia, we have a list provided with the opportunity to add the other wikipedia to which we want to add the image at the same time. Somehow, a common place for upload ? With as many description areas as languages chosen. Hence, we would have separate space, but common upload facility ?
